qt-at-spi 0.3 released

Hello planets, long time no see…

I don’t blog unless there’s something interesting to say, so here it comes: after less than a month I’m happy to release qt-at-spi 0.3 succeeding version 0.2.

What is that thing? A bridge that lets Qt applications interface with the AT-SPI accessibility framework that GNOME provides. For users that mostly means that the Orca screenreader should work nicely with Qt applications.

This project keeps evolving and as you’d expect in an accessibility plugin that is completely hidden from the user, development is just about bugfixing and getting it in shape to play nice with other existing infrastructure.

What made me happy this time around, and what triggered the short cycle since the last release is that I started getting more and more feedback from Orca users.

Thanks to Joanie and Mike and others I could finally nail down some old issues in the tree view handling.

As always this goes together with some fixes in Qt itself, so you might want to grab the 4.8 branch of Qt that will soon be 4.8.2 if you want to try the latest and greatest.
